Agent readiness for retail and travel

Make your business bookable by AI agents.

AI agents are starting to research, compare and buy. We audit whether your business can be found, quoted, bought from and paid through those agents, fix what blocks it, and measure what changed.

Two industries

Retail and travel need the same six layers.

The products are different. The readiness problem is the same: a machine has to find, understand, price, buy and measure you.

Retail and e-commerce

Your catalog has to survive a machine.

Agents compare products, prices and stock before a shopper sees the page. If the feed or the schema is wrong, you are skipped.

  • Product feeds and Product/Offer schema
  • Price, stock and variant accuracy
  • Shipping, returns and delivery promises
  • Checkout, payment tokens and order confirmation

Travel and hospitality

Your property has to be quotable and bookable.

Agents can plan a whole trip. The gap is whether they can confirm the room, the rate and the cancellation terms without a human.

  • Property, room and rate data
  • Policies and availability
  • Booking engine, payment tokens and cancellations
  • Itinerary composition

The gap

The agent can read your website. It cannot buy from you.

Most sites were built for a human clicking through a form or a calendar. An agent needs structured data, a live price, a purchase action and a payment method it can use.

01

Prices behind a form

An agent asking for a date, a variant or a room cannot see the price without filling in a human form. It defaults to a marketplace, an OTA or another brand.

02

Policies in a PDF

Delivery, returns, cancellation, deposits and check-in terms are often trapped in a PDF or an image. An agent cannot price the risk, so it skips the sale.

03

Verified agents blocked

A firewall rule or bot challenge stops the agent at the door. The traffic is legitimate, but the sale never happens.

The fix is not a new website. It is a readiness program across six layers.

The method

Six layers decide whether an agent can buy from you.

We score each layer against 50 checks, then fix the ones that block the sale.

01

Represent

Products or rooms, prices, stock, policies and attributes in a form a machine can read.

02

Reach

Verified agents can reach the site without being challenged or blocked.

03

Act

Availability, quote, cart or booking, modify and cancel, exposed as tools.

04

Pay

Agent payment tokens, 3-D Secure, deposits and dispute evidence.

05

Fulfill

Confirmations, inventory sync, cancellations, returns and service scripts.

06

Prove

Agent traffic, revenue, task completion and decline rates.

Where most businesses are

Readable is not buyable.

The common pattern is level 1 or 2. An agent can describe the product or the property, but it cannot quote or confirm.

About

Built from the demand side.

I spent 12 years in digital marketing, running demand, conversion and measurement programs. Agent commerce moves the start of a purchase away from your website.

I built this practice for retail and travel businesses, with a partner bench for the engineering, payments and legal work.

Principles

  • Evidence before opinion.
  • No replatforming for its own sake.
  • Measure what changed, with caveats.
  • Leave the client able to operate.
Questions

What businesses ask first.

What is agent readiness?

The work of making a business readable, reachable, buyable, payable and measurable to AI agents. It covers data, access, purchase tools, payments, fulfillment and measurement.

Do you work with retail and travel?

Yes. Retail and e-commerce, plus hotels, DMCs and experiences. The six layers are the same; the systems and policies are different.

Do we need to replatform?

No. We harden what you have. If you are starting from scratch, we build on Cloudflare Pages because you control the edge.

How long does it take?

The audit is two weeks. The sprint is four to eight weeks. Agent Ops is ongoing.

What does it cost?

The teardown is free. The audit is $9,500. Sprints start at $20,000. Agent Ops is $6,500 a month.

Will this guarantee more sales?

No. We measure what changes and report it with caveats. We do not promise revenue.
